A Wrinkle in Time Tiering and Quantification

So, I noticed we don't really have any profiles for the Time Quintet. I was thinking of making some profiles for the books. I had a few questions about some characters, namely the Echtoroi.

-They have simaltaneously have no size, and are every size, and are non-existent being who are un-named beings, meaning that all that makes them them, in essence, there name, and that which names them, their thoughts, soul, mind, and relation to other beings is nulled, and made X'd, as the books call it.

-They are the antithesis to the Song of Creation, a song sung by all beings of the universe, even inanimate objects, that can best be heard in Metron Ariston, a thought created by the Teachers who teach the truth of the universe, in which all space, time, size, and distance are shown to be merely illusions of reality, where nohing is actually anywhwere, and where it has no true meaning and does not limit them.

Is this quantifiable?
 
The universe itslef isn't a illusion, it's the laws that govern it (space, time, size, and distance) that are conpletely irrelavent.
 
I'm not entirely sure. It's not the characters themself per se, but the universe that has space and time as illusions
 
So, I went over the second book again, and essentially, time, space, size, distance are all illusions of reality, and on th8e basic level, there is nothing in reality seperating anything in reality, and the stars can sing with the Farandole, who see humans as galaxies and mitochondria as planets, because in reality, there is no distance actually between them, nor is there size, and Charles Wallace is capable of talking to one of his Farandole while inside himself without shrinking or growing, as there is in reality none of these things to seperate them, as well as that being why nothing is anywhere in Metron Ariston, as there is no distance or space. That is also why Echtoroi kill both stars and farandole as equal threats, despite them containing trillions of them, since in reality there is no diffence in size and all things are of equal importance to the harmony, as well as the cry of dying stars and mitochondria being the same, as well as the song they sing together being the same because although they dwarf them immensely, there is nothing in reality barricading them like space, time, size, or distance. That is also why a flower can hear and cry out for a star despite having no way of knowing of itś death, because in reality there is nothing between them due to aformentioned lack of those limits.

Sorry if this is a bit confusing. The book is somewhat complictaed, and there aren´t any large quotes explaining how it works, just tidbits across the story. Itś just really hard to quantify something without physical parameters to judge it by like this.
